Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) on Thursday convened a special session of the state legislature intended to quickly address climate change, secure access to abortion, protect immigrants, and a host of other issues ahead of President-elect Donald Trump‘s January inauguration.
Newsom’s preemptive strike on a conservative federal agenda that is likely approaching has triggered the return of a hostile relationship between one of the most liberal states in the nation and the Trump administration. It also no doubt helps burnish the credentials of Newsom as a foe of Trump for the next four years. Newsom is among the betting favorites for the 2028 Democratic presidential ticket in the very early stages.
